Prog Readers' Poll 2014

Another year, another 12 months of progressive profusion! It’s certainly been another astonishing year for progressive music.

A new (and final) Pink Floyd album, a King Crimson tour and even Kate Bush dates, too. We saw Steven Wilson, Ian Anderson, Rick Wakeman and Steve Hackett help make London’s Royal Albert Hall the premiere prog venue in the capital, and there’s been the usual array of intriguing and beguiling albums from established artists and newcomers alike…
